If there’s one thing I get asked advice about (besides where to go in Croatia) it’s how to get a TV show off the ground. Anna and I have received countless emails and queries about this, with people asking if they can pick our brains about the TV world.

Choosing complimentary dishes to round out a menu is a challenge for many home cooks. But by following a few simple guidelines you can easily learn to think for yourself and create interesting and delicious menus, beyond the obvious chicken and mashed potatoes (not that there’s anything wrong with that combination).

We’ve heard about the dresses (Jennifer Aniston rocks it again), John Travolta obsessions with Idina’s Menzel’s face and Neil Patrick Harris tepid performance as host at this year’s Oscars. But one thing we haven’t dissected nearly enough is what the GUYS were wearing!

According to various online sources (redcross.ca, bullyingstatistics.org), Canadian teachers rate cyber bullying as their issue of highest concern (out of six listed options). Further, approximately 58% of kids and teens say they have had something negative said about or to them online. And 35% of kids say they’ve been threatened online.

How many pots and pans does the average home cook (notice I don’t say chef) need? Most of us ending up buying our pots and pans in sets, which can be an excellent way to score a deal. But if you’re like me, a bunch of those end up going unused, taking up precious storage space.

I’m all for staying in on Valentine’s Day. Why battle tight reservation schedules, pay higher prices or risk poor service? Besides, the following menu is not only easy to make but is sure to get you lucky in the bedroom. Or on the kitchen counter. Or both. See? Staying home is way more fun.

I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!
No, my caps are not locked. I am actually screaming right now.
Like 1 in 5 Canadians, I work from home, spending the majority of my working hours at my desk, either on my computer or on my phone.

If you’re looking for something to do this Valentine’s Day you can always line up to see the Fifty Shades of Grey movie, which hits Canadian theatres on February 14th. I’m certain it will be the date of choice for thousands of couples looking to add a little spice to their lives. It will also be well attended by middle aged single women oblivious to the day altogether. (Spoiler alert: There will be no full frontal.)

I want to stop shaving my underarms.
No, I’m not going all Madonna on you, I’ve been testing the Silkn’s Flash and Go at home hair removal unit for six months with the hopes of putting one tiresome grooming chore behind me.
